About this Event
A day of creative writing - lunch, tea/coffee and snacks included!
Following the sell-out success of our first two writing retreats, we are excited to announce another writing day retreat in Leith Croft Community Cafe!
Want to write but keep procrastinating? Promise today's the day but then accidentally take a 3 hour nap with your cat instead?
Friends, we have ALL been there - but let's face it, that award-winnng novel isn't going to write itself!
Join us for a full day of creative writing and make it happen!
We'll write in manageable 1 hour-ish sprints, with regular breaks. Oh, and there will be plenty of yummy snacks, plus tea/coffee to keep us motivated.
Day Schedule:
9:30am - 10am: arrive, get settled in, chat to other writers and grab a coffee - we'll introduce ourselves and share goals for the session
10:00am - 11:am: first writing sprint!
11am - 11.15am: break (maybe grab a wee biscuit or some fruit!)
11:15am - 12:15pm: second writing sprint
12:15pm - 1:00pm: lunch (sandwiches, with dietary requirements catered for)
The cafe has an amazing location inside the park, so we will be near lots of soothing trees/green space if anyone fancies a lunchtime stroll! The market usually happens on a Sunday so a nice opportunity to have a break and potter about.
1:00pm - 1:30pm: final writing sprint of the day!
1:30pm -2:00pm: reflecting on the writing day with your table (maybe share a favourite sentence or paragraph if you feel like it - but absolutely no pressure!)
2:00pm: well dones and goodbyes!
